UMG Font outline animation support

[alwei]

The font outline is very easy to see and is good.
However, it does not support font animation of the UMG editor.
I need animation support in outline font.

I am using UE 4.15 Preview 2.

We won’t be adding support for animating outlines in this manner, it would have horrible performance implications because it would thrash the font cache. The future support will have to come through distance field outlines with animation done in the material. No timeline has been established for this feature.

Hi Nick.

I understood in your explanation.
I would like to expect animation support to be done in another way in the future.
Thank you very much.

I know this is super old but maybe it will help future people. I just added the set font node and self animate the text size. It affects the outline too so for me its a decent work around/ solution.
